I’m a long suffering fan of Southampton Football Club but I don’t have any recent photos of me at a game or of me doing anything remotely sport related. So, instead here’s a photo of me outside Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham Football Club, that I took while I was walking around London in 2024. Though I studied sports journalism at university, the sports stories you’ll find below have a strong news angle to them, as they were written during my time as a news reporter for the Daily Echo.
